That doesn’t make any sense
- Comment on [question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name 4 days ago:
Then you don’t need to pay porkbun and can just selfhost a DNS with that entry like technitium.com/dns/
- Comment on [question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name 4 days ago:
A wildcard record at Porkbun pointing to the private IP of my home server
Which can not be 192.168.X.X

- Comment on email set up for Ghost blog hosted on Pikapods 5 days ago:
I recently set up ghost on a regular VPS and it sends “internal” emails like 2fa and invites directly from the docker container as far as I can tell.
The sender is the server domain. (Which btw. gets flagged as spam in my case because I use that domain with tutanota…)
Only bulk/userfacing emails go through mailgun, as far as I can tell, but havent tested this yet in detail.
Maybe that helps you in debugging.

I wanted to set up a kubernetes cluster and bought 2k worth of hardware, which ended up lying in a box for 3 freaking years before I gave up on kubernetes and just set it up with dokploy in swarm mode.

Don’t do a large pile, when you get to it, start with the smallest possible thingy thats easy and fun.

How close are you to “fck it, im just gonna pay for unraid”?
Extremely far. Maximum distance. My self updating debian with an sftpgo container and some HDDs slapped onto it has been rocksolid for years.
- Comment on Security camera recommendations? 1 week ago:
The answer is probably no but does this setup require an internet connection after the initial setup?
My family asked me to set up security cameras at my grandmas place, which has no internet and they don’t want to pay monthly.
The idea is that family will visit and check the recordings regularely to see whether the services we hired do their job and not abuse my demented grandma.
I’m thinking of:
- a rpi/minipc that can do it’s own hotspot
- a huge ssd slapped onto it
- web interface that visitors can log into with a password
- 2-3 wifi cameras that connect to it

That looks super interesting. Just yesterday I was reading on radicle.xyz for similar reasons.
- Comment on Anyone running Sandstorm? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t get that part. Can you explain it please?
Dokploy has a list of hundreds of “templates” where you basically one click install a working docker container with said app. But there is no deeper integration.
- Comment on Anyone running Sandstorm? 4 weeks ago:
I prefer dokploy and having full control over each aspect (like auth, backups and routing)

If you want specifically “free land”:
Not a lot of people want to live there. You can go to the bumfuck north in russia and nobody will come check whether you’ve built a house in the woods or not. In general, extremely rural places with weak law enforcement will work, albeit being technically illegal.
There are tribal lands in africa (and probably other tribal areas in latin america) that will accept you and you can build your own hut in their village. There are a couple of historic records of people doing that, even in modern times.
As to places without a property tax:
Lichtenstein, Monaco, Cook Islands, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands.
- Comment on LandChad, a site dedicated to turning internet peasants into Internet Landlords 5 weeks ago:
Yes and yes
- Comment on LandChad, a site dedicated to turning internet peasants into Internet Landlords 5 weeks ago:
You’re still paying rent (though up-front instead of monthly or quarterly
thats like saying buying a house is like paying a lifetime of rent upfront. It’s true in some sense, but a pretty weird thing to claim.
- Comment on LandChad, a site dedicated to turning internet peasants into Internet Landlords 5 weeks ago:
I know all that and none of it contradicts what I said.
- Comment on LandChad, a site dedicated to turning internet peasants into Internet Landlords 5 weeks ago:
Of course you have to pay
and that is my point.
At the beginning there was the metaphor of being a landlord. Depending on your location in the world, you can buy land, pay nothing monthly and own and use it for ever.
There is basically no way to do that with a server. But while yall were being obtuse about my point that one needs to “pay rent” for an internet connection. I actually found something interesting that might be a way:
SIMO Solis Lite Mobile WLAN Router - 100$ one time purchase price. And they claim:
Includes 1GB of free global data volume per month, for the lifetime of the device
Of course that only works as long as the company exists and is profitable.

I’ve never heard of an ISP that gives IPs for 0$. You get one through a subscribtion, so it is a rent.
- Comment on LandChad, a site dedicated to turning internet peasants into Internet Landlords 5 weeks ago:
dynamic IP would be the default option included
Included in what? In a 0$ per month plan or in a x$ (x > 0) per month plan? If the plan is paid, you pay for what is included.
- Comment on LandChad, a site dedicated to turning internet peasants into Internet Landlords 5 weeks ago:
By “renting an IP” I mean paying a monthly subscription so that your internet service provider gives your home (which has your server) an IP so it is accessible through the intetnet. It doesn’t matter whether that IP is static or dynamic, as you said there are free dynamic dns services.
- Comment on LandChad, a site dedicated to turning internet peasants into Internet Landlords 5 weeks ago:
Is there any way to not rent anything at all?
I have my own physical server, renting a domain is optional, but renting an IP is mandatory afaik, or are there some ways to get it on the internet for free or by paying only once?
